Two more arrests have been made in connection with an alleged attack on two teenagers which is being treated as a hate crime by police.

A 17-year-old boy and a 20-year-old man have been held on suspicion of section 18 assault after the incident on Market Street at 10.15pm on February 4.

Two pals - 17-year-old pals Daniel Stringer-Prince and Kavan Brown – told police they were set upon by a group of Asian men. The 17-year-old boy was bailed until April 23, while the 20-year-old man remained in custody this morning. Daniel was left with a fractured skull and two fractured eye sockets.

Ali Haydor, 21, of Croft Street, Hyde, has been charged with section 18 assault in connection with the incident.

Supt Neil Evans, from Tameside police, said: "Although a man has now been charged following the attack on the two 17-year-old teenagers in Hyde last Sunday, this investigation is still very much ongoing.

"The progress made in the investigation to date is in a very large part due to the support of the local community, particularly the Asian community. We are extremely grateful for that support and appeal for it to continue as we seek to identify further suspects."
